Pastoral View was completed in 1986, a single apartment block comprising of 51 units.
In 2015, mainboard-listed FEOrchard teamed up with Far East Organization in 2010 to acquire Pastoral View, through a collective sale, and the next door plot sold by OCBC Bank for a total of $122 million.
This created the amalgamation of 2 land parcels at addresses 7 and 11 Bassein Road.
The parcels will be launched under the project name The Serra Residences, the first Freehold Harmonized residential launch in the Core Central Region.
The Serra Residences will launch for booking on the 16 Oct 2026 with the following starting prices:

The Serra Residences is designed as a tranquil sanctuary inspired by the natural slopes and greenery of Bassein Road. Blending modern architecture with nature, the development offers residents a sense of calm and privacy while being located in the heart of the vibrant Novena district.
The homes are thoughtfully positioned to enjoy natural light, refreshing breezes, and beautiful views. To the south, residents can take in the city skyline and Marina Bay, while the northern outlook is framed by lush greenery, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
A key feature of the development is its elevated sky terrace, which provides a welcoming green space for residents to relax, unwind, and connect with nature. The striking 50-metre swimming pool, set above the arrival courtyard, adds to the resort-like experience and creates a memorable first impression.
With its blend of greenery, open spaces, panoramic views, and modern comforts, The Serra Residences offers a unique living experience where residents can enjoy the best of both city convenience and serene residential living.

The Serra Residences is a new freehold condominium development at 7 Bassein Road in District 11, within the highly established Novena planning area. Designed as a single 28-storey residential tower comprising just 133 residences, the development combines the scarcity of freehold tenure with a central location, proximity to Novena MRT Station, access to established schools and healthcare facilities, and a carefully considered range of two- to five-bedroom homes.
A particularly notable feature of The Serra Residences is its harmonised development status. The project is positioned around the concept of maximising genuinely usable internal space, with less of the allowable gross floor area being occupied by non-livable areas such as air-conditioning ledges and other service spaces. For homeowners comparing newer condominiums in the Core Central Region (CCR), this can make the actual functionality of the floor plan an important consideration alongside headline unit size.
With its combination of freehold ownership, central location, relatively low unit count, efficient layouts, extensive facilities and long-term transformation taking place across Novena and the wider Newton-Novena area, The Serra Residences presents a distinctive proposition for homeowners looking for a well-connected private residence in District 11.
The development occupies approximately 51,395 sq ft at 7 Bassein Road. Rather than comprising several towers spread across a large site, The Serra Residences is planned as a single 28-storey tower with 133 residential units. This creates a relatively intimate residential environment compared with much larger condominium developments.
The project is also Green Mark Certified and includes a range of recreational and communal facilities, including a clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis court and landscaped communal areas.
The development is supported by an established team of consultants. P&T Consultants is the project architect, while Ecoplan Asia is the landscape architect. The interior design is by 932 Design Group, a Singapore-based interior architecture and design studio whose portfolio includes luxury residential projects and whose design philosophy centres on understated luxury.
Together, these elements create a project that places emphasis on location, space efficiency, architectural design and long-term liveability.
One of the clearest selling points of The Serra Residences is its freehold tenure.
Freehold condominiums in prime central Singapore are increasingly limited, particularly when combined with a location close to an MRT station and established amenities. The Serra Residences is positioned within the CCR and offers homeowners the opportunity to own a freehold property in Novena rather than a leasehold residence.
For owner-occupiers, freehold ownership can appeal to buyers seeking a home that can potentially remain within the family over an extended period. For property investors, the tenure can also broaden the potential pool of future buyers who specifically seek freehold properties.
The location is equally important. Novena is an established central district rather than an emerging suburban precinct. It offers proximity to the city, established residential neighbourhoods, medical institutions, schools, shopping centres and a wide range of lifestyle amenities.
This combination gives The Serra Residences a positioning that is difficult to replicate: freehold ownership in a central, mature neighbourhood with substantial existing infrastructure.
Location is one of the major strengths of The Serra Residences.
Situated on Bassein Road, the development benefits from the connectivity of Novena and its position between several established districts. The area provides convenient access to Orchard Road, Newton, Balestier, Toa Payoh and the Central Business District, while Novena MRT Station provides an important public transport connection.
For residents who commute by MRT, the proximity to Novena MRT Station is particularly significant. The station is on the North-South Line, giving residents a direct rail connection towards major destinations across Singapore.
The central location also means that residents are not dependent solely on the immediate neighbourhood for amenities. Orchard Road's shopping and entertainment attractions, the retail clusters around Novena and Newton, and the established food destinations of Balestier and Whampoa are all within convenient reach.
For professionals working in the city centre, the location can offer a useful balance between central accessibility and residential convenience.
The Serra Residences is positioned close to Novena MRT Station, one of the key transport nodes serving District 11.
MRT proximity is one of the most enduring considerations for both homeowners and investors because it can reduce reliance on private transport and make daily commuting more convenient.
The Novena MRT area is also surrounded by established commercial, healthcare and lifestyle facilities. This creates a practical advantage for residents who value being close to employment centres, shopping and services.
For potential future buyers, a combination of freehold tenure and MRT accessibility may also make the project easier to understand from a resale perspective. Rather than relying on a single lifestyle feature, the location offers several established fundamentals.
The Serra Residences is also positioned within reach of several established schools.
The development's surrounding school network includes St Joseph's Institution Junior and Hong Wen School within 1km, while schools between approximately 1km and 2km include Anglo-Chinese School (Junior & Primary), CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) and Kheng Cheng School.
This is particularly relevant to families planning for long-term residence in the Novena area.
The presence of established schools nearby can also contribute to the area's appeal among family buyers. Parents often place considerable emphasis on school accessibility when selecting a condominium, particularly when comparing properties across different districts.
For The Serra Residences, the combination of central location, MRT access and proximity to schools adds another layer of practical appeal beyond the development itself.
Another defining feature of the The Serra Residences location is its proximity to Singapore's healthcare cluster.
The HealthCity Novena Master Plan is described as a major integrated healthcare development spanning approximately 17 hectares in the central Novena district. Centred around Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the wider ecosystem brings together acute healthcare, research, education and community living.
For residents, this creates immediate lifestyle and convenience benefits. Medical facilities, specialist services and healthcare institutions are concentrated within the Novena area, making the district particularly attractive to households that value proximity to healthcare services.
The healthcare ecosystem may also contribute to employment and rental demand within the area. The development's location close to HealthCity Novena can therefore appeal to healthcare professionals as well as other workers who prefer to live near their place of employment.
This is an important characteristic of Novena that differentiates it from many purely residential districts.
The Serra Residences is located in an area that is not only established but also undergoing further transformation.
One of the future developments highlighted around the area is the Mount Pleasant precinct, where planning initiatives are expected to introduce new residential and mixed-use opportunities. The project information highlights potential plans for up to 5,000 new homes at Mount Pleasant, together with new infrastructure and development zones.
Another potential lifestyle transformation involves 2 Moulmein Road, a heritage precinct near Novena. The site comprises a large cluster of heritage properties and is located within walking distance of Novena MRT Station.
Future development can have a significant effect on an established neighbourhood. New homes, amenities, roads, commercial uses and public infrastructure can progressively enhance the attractiveness of an existing district.
For homeowners considering The Serra Residences, the attraction therefore lies not only in what already exists around Novena but also in the potential evolution of the wider precinct.
The Serra Residences stands out through its relatively compact scale.
The project consists of one 28-storey tower containing 133 units on approximately 51,395 sq ft of land.
This is a considerably different proposition from mega-condominiums containing hundreds or even more than a thousand homes.
A smaller residential community can provide a more private environment, with fewer households sharing the development's common spaces. For buyers who prefer a more exclusive residential setting, the limited unit count can therefore be an important consideration.
The single-tower configuration also gives the development a clear architectural identity.
One of The Serra Residences' more distinctive characteristics is its harmonised design.
The harmonisation concept focuses on how condominium floor area is allocated. According to the project information, harmonised developments allow buyers to pay for more genuinely usable internal space by reducing the proportion of allowable gross floor area taken up by air-conditioning ledges and other service-related spaces.
This distinction becomes particularly important when comparing condominiums.
Two apartments can have similar headline sizes while providing very different levels of actual liveable space. A well-designed 700-plus sq ft apartment can sometimes feel more practical than a larger unit where significant floor area is devoted to inefficient corners, planters, bay windows or other spaces that contribute less to everyday living.
The Serra Residences therefore places considerable emphasis on space efficiency.
For buyers, this means assessing not just the advertised square footage but also how effectively that space is used.
The two-bedroom-plus-study layouts are designed around approximately 710 to 721 sq ft, providing options for buyers who want an additional flexible space without moving into a larger three-bedroom configuration.
The B1 and B1A layouts each offer approximately 710 sq ft, while the B2 layout measures approximately 721 sq ft.
The B1 and B1A feature a layout where the kitchen and study can be tucked away and enclosed. The study can potentially serve multiple purposes depending on the resident's needs, including a home office, storage area or additional functional space.
The B2 layout offers a different configuration, including a corner position and windows serving areas such as the master bathroom, kitchen and study. It also incorporates a privacy foyer.
These variations give buyers the ability to select a layout according to their preferred orientation, privacy requirements and space-planning priorities.
The Serra Residences offers several three-bedroom configurations, including approximately 764 sq ft, 893 sq ft and 904 sq ft layouts.
The 764 sq ft C1 layout includes a tucked-away kitchen and a flexible third bedroom. The latter can provide additional versatility for households that need a study, guest room, nursery or children's room.
The larger C2 and C3 layouts introduce additional features such as privacy foyers, kitchen windows and bathroom windows.
The C3 layout also includes a potentially hackable wall between Bedrooms 2 and 3, providing greater flexibility for owners who may want to reconfigure the space.
For families, these details can be more significant than simply choosing the largest floor area. A flexible floor plan can allow the home to evolve as household needs change.
The four-bedroom range extends from approximately 958 sq ft to 1,529 sq ft, offering several different configurations.
The 958 sq ft D1 layout is a corner stack with a tucked-away kitchen, kitchen window and windows serving the bathrooms. Its fourth bedroom is also designed as a flexible space.
The larger D2, D3 and D4 layouts provide progressively more extensive features.
The 1,216 sq ft D2 includes a junior master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a wet kitchen with windows, and additional storage and WC provisions.
The 1,335 sq ft D3 introduces a dry kitchen, yard and store, together with a walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom and a wider frontage for the living and dining areas.
At approximately 1,529 sq ft, the D4 offers a more premium configuration with a private lift, study, powder room, dry kitchen, storage, junior master suite, walk-in wardrobe and a master bathroom featuring dual sinks and a bathtub.
This variety allows larger households to choose between practicality, additional entertaining space and more premium private-home features.
For buyers requiring more substantial accommodation, The Serra Residences offers a 5-bedroom layout of approximately 1,755 sq ft.
The five-bedroom residence is designed for larger families and includes several features associated with upscale private living. These include a junior master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and ensuite bathrooms for all bedrooms.
The home also includes a dry kitchen, WC, yard, store and walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom.
Other notable features include a wide living and dining frontage, private lift, powder room, dual access to the common corridor from the kitchen, and a master bathroom with dual sinks and bathtub.
For multi-generational families or buyers who require several private bedrooms, this configuration provides significantly more flexibility than the smaller apartment types.
The architecture of The Serra Residences is supported by P&T Consultants, an established architectural and engineering consultancy with a track record spanning residential, commercial, institutional and mixed-use developments. The firm's stated experience extends across more than 30 countries and thousands of projects.
The involvement of an established architectural practice is reflected in the development's focus on proportion, functionality and the overall relationship between the tower and its landscaped environment.
Rather than relying purely on the scale of the development, The Serra Residences is positioned around a more refined residential identity.
The landscape component is designed by Ecoplan Asia, a Singapore landscape architecture and urban-planning consultancy established in 2010. Its portfolio includes major residential developments in Singapore.
Landscaping plays an important role in the overall living experience of a condominium.
At The Serra Residences, communal gardens and outdoor spaces are intended to complement the residential tower and provide residents with areas for relaxation, recreation and social interaction.
This is particularly relevant in a central district such as Novena, where landscaped private spaces can provide a quieter counterpoint to the surrounding urban environment.
Interior design is by 932 Design Group, whose work spans high-end Good Class Bungalows, luxury penthouses and private condominium transformations across Singapore and Asia. The studio is recognised for an approach centred on understated luxury, minimalist elegance, tactile materials and fluid spatial layouts.
This philosophy fits the overall positioning of The Serra Residences.
Instead of depending solely on decorative features, the emphasis is on creating homes that feel sophisticated while remaining functional for everyday living.
The larger residences particularly demonstrate this approach through features such as wide living and dining frontages, walk-in wardrobes, dry kitchens, private lifts and premium master bathrooms.
The facilities form another important component of the project.
The development includes a 50-metre swimming pool, arrival entrance, BBQ pavilion, dining room, tennis court, fitness room, children's pool, spa pool, social lounge, wellness garden, retreat lounge, Zen deck and pool deck.
The inclusion of both active and relaxing facilities allows residents to use the development as more than simply a place to live.
The 50-metre pool provides space for recreational swimming and exercise, while the tennis court caters to residents who prefer more active sports.
For families, the children's pool adds another dedicated recreational area.
Meanwhile, the spa pool, wellness garden, retreat lounge and Zen deck provide quieter environments for relaxation.
Wellness is becoming an increasingly important component of modern condominium design.
At The Serra Residences, the combination of landscaped communal spaces, swimming facilities, fitness areas and wellness-oriented spaces provides residents with opportunities to incorporate exercise and relaxation into their daily routines without leaving the development.
The wellness garden and Zen deck provide more tranquil settings, while the pool deck and social lounge offer spaces for informal interaction.
This balance between social and private spaces is particularly useful for a central residential development, where residents can enjoy the convenience of Novena while still having dedicated areas within the property for relaxation.
Living at The Serra Residences means having access to a broad range of amenities beyond the condominium itself.
Novena, Balestier, Newton, Whampoa and Toa Payoh collectively offer an extensive range of restaurants, cafes, retail shops and everyday services. The surrounding area is also known for its diverse food culture, while Orchard Road is within convenient reach for premium shopping and entertainment.
The healthcare cluster around Novena adds another dimension to the location.
For professionals, families and investors, this combination creates a neighbourhood where many everyday requirements are already supported by established infrastructure.
For owner-occupiers, The Serra Residences offers several characteristics that can be difficult to combine in a single development.
These include freehold tenure, central location, MRT connectivity, school proximity, relatively low density and efficient floor plans.
The unit selection also provides a clear progression from two-bedroom-plus-study homes through three- and four-bedroom residences to a substantial five-bedroom configuration.
This means the project can appeal to different household sizes without compromising its overall positioning.
Couples may find the two-bedroom-plus-study layouts suitable for combining living space with a home office, while families can consider the larger three- and four-bedroom options. Larger multi-generational households have the option of a five-bedroom home with multiple ensuite bathrooms.
From an investment perspective, the project's characteristics may also appeal to buyers who place importance on location fundamentals.
The combination of freehold tenure and proximity to Novena MRT provides two recognisable property attributes.
The Novena healthcare ecosystem is another potential source of tenant demand, particularly among healthcare professionals and workers employed within the wider medical and research cluster. The project information specifically highlights the potential rental pool associated with HealthCity Novena.
The development's relatively limited supply of 133 units also creates a different positioning from much larger projects.
However, property investment returns are never guaranteed. Actual rental performance, resale prices and capital appreciation will depend on market conditions, purchase price, financing costs, competing developments and broader economic factors.
One of the more compelling aspects of The Serra Residences is the emphasis on what buyers actually receive within the stated floor area.
The harmonised approach is intended to reduce the amount of non-livable space within a unit, meaning that the relationship between headline size and usable living area becomes an important consideration.
This can be especially relevant in central Singapore, where land costs are high and apartment sizes are often carefully optimised.
The layouts at The Serra Residences demonstrate this philosophy through features such as tucked-away kitchens, privacy foyers, flexible bedrooms, hackable walls, wider living and dining frontages, walk-in wardrobes and dedicated utility spaces.
Rather than simply maximising square footage, the emphasis is on making the available space work harder.
The Serra Residences brings together several characteristics that make it distinctive within the Novena property market.
It is a freehold development in the CCR, situated close to Novena MRT, and designed as a harmonised project with a relatively low number of homes.
The project information also compares The Serra Residences with surrounding developments and highlights the limited supply of younger condominiums in the Novena area over the longer term.
For buyers assessing a property for the next 10, 20 or even 30 years, these characteristics can be more meaningful than short-term market movements.
A central freehold property with efficient layouts and access to established infrastructure can offer a fundamentally different proposition from a leasehold development in a less mature location.
The Serra Residences is ultimately defined by the combination of location, tenure, space efficiency and lifestyle convenience.
Its Bassein Road address places residents in one of Singapore's established central residential districts. Novena MRT provides connectivity to the wider island, while nearby schools make the location relevant to families. The healthcare ecosystem around Novena creates an additional employment and lifestyle anchor, while future development around Mount Pleasant and other parts of the district could continue to reshape the wider precinct.
Within the development itself, the relatively low-density configuration of 133 residences creates an exclusive residential environment. The 50-metre pool, tennis court, fitness room, children's pool, spa facilities, social lounge and landscaped wellness areas provide a broad range of recreational choices.
The residences are equally varied, ranging from two-bedroom-plus-study apartments to spacious five-bedroom homes. The harmonised approach to floor planning places additional emphasis on usable space, while the larger units introduce features such as private lifts, junior master suites, walk-in wardrobes, dry kitchens and premium master bathrooms.
For buyers searching for a freehold condominium in Novena, The Serra Residences therefore offers a combination of attributes that extends beyond the immediate appeal of a new home. It is a centrally located development in an established district, supported by MRT connectivity, schools, healthcare infrastructure, lifestyle amenities and future precinct transformation.
With its freehold tenure, relatively low density, harmonised layouts and extensive facilities, The Serra Residences represents a distinctive residential option for those seeking a long-term home or investment property in District 11.
